Im currently bagging 5 putters.
1 SS wizard for putting purposes inside 30 ish ft(been in the bag for 2 years or so)
1 SS wizard for outside the circle approaches/ putts
2 Fossil serpents 1 more beat up than the other. got to driving putters
1 fossil scale beefy for approaches and some teeshots (although its kind of a freak and will fly dead straight with a little turn if cranked on)
As for the question about hills. Im a firm believer that putting is like 90% mental so switching to a specialty putter just makes me think I planning on missing it, but to each there own.

2 McPro Aviars at similar levels of wear
1 Zone (Ti right now)
1 Polecat
I own several others, and might find a place for a Challenger, Pure, or Reef; but they haven't convinced me I need them yet. I still throw a mid for lots of shots that others consider putter shots. I'm comfortable with my Buzzz and Comet, what can I say? I don't mind powering down mids.

But at the same time; that was a really old thread... I haven't looked yet, but I probably said the same thing back on that thread.
2-2.5 months is not a really old thread.
Yeah I was joking. I bet 90% of the people on here said more or less the same thing then. But it's funny that it's still a relatively hot topic. Personally, I've added the Polecat since my post in the other thread. No regrets. It'll never be a regular putter for me, but I would venture to say that it's earned a permanent spot in my bag.
Maybe we'll see when someone posts this again in 3 months...

just started using an r-pro rhyno and love it! especially in the windy area I live in....
Sorry, missed your fairly obvious sarcasm...and your closing statement couldn't be closer to the truth.
Currently McAviars for putting but will possibly be changing to classic Wardens in the near future.
Opto Pure for short drives and most flat, straight upshots.
XT Polecat for shorter approaches/long putts where I'm concerned about rollaways.
Been messing around with Rhynos in various plastics lately. I don't find a need for them too much on my home course but they're fun to throw.
Just ordered Fossil and Fo$$il Scales, looking forward to checking them out.

I drive with Pures and Harps depending on what lines I'm throwing.
I've had Pigs and Shields and a Rhyno in the OS driving putter slot and I keep coming back to Harps for their reliability.
I'm stuck on GStar Aviars for putting. I doubt I'll switch off these ever again.
I try to keep worked trilogy medium baselines for my neutral and OS driving putters for shots that need to stick.
@thread - Polecats huh? I gave up on lids when I shelved my rattlers. All power grips, all the time! (At least partially kidding)

No problem. I need a "sarcasm" font... Actually, my first reaction when this was posted was, "Wait, this thread's still going?" Then, "wait, why are there only 8 posts?" Then "meh, why not post again?"
I guess it's more fun to start a new thread than reading through old posts. And this one is certainly getting enough action.
So nice for approaches that need to stick or running the basket without going too long or carving "lid lines" around pesky obstacles. I haven't tried a rattler (or a power grip, for that matter...) but probably should throw one.

polecats are really comfy in a power grip imo. rattlr is definitely not.

I carry five.
1. Omega Driver for circle putts
2. Pro SB Aviar for longer putts (don't want to break the old Omega Driver)
3. JK Aviar old and thrashed for approaches, jump putts, touchy hills and understable drives. Don't know how to replace it, flies nothing like a new JK.
4. KC P2 for stable to overstable drives
5. Qmega well worn in for stable drives or touch approaches in the wind
So all Aviar variants, but they have their different flights.
